Premature ovarian failure (POF), also known as primary ovarian insufficiency, is a condition where the ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40. This results in menopause-like symptoms such as irregular periods or lack of periods (amenorrhea), inability to conceive naturally, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes.
Some key facts about POF:
While upsetting, a POF diagnosis does not necessarily mean a woman cannot get pregnant. Around 5-10% of women with POF occasionally ovulate and conceive naturally. Others can try options like egg donation or embryo adoption.
